The Dhaka Times Desk In recent times, the news of Gmail shutdown has spread on various social media. Users are worried after getting information that the platform will be shut down next August.
For the past few days, a fake screenshot of an e-mail sent by Google to Gmail users was also seen on social media. In that screenshot, it is reported that Gmail will be shut down from August 1. Gmail will not support sharing and saving any mail after August. The screenshot has also been shared thousands of times on X and TikTok.
Multiple content creators have claimed that Google has taken this step after a lot of criticism over Google's AI-based image creation tool Gemini. The debate began after Gemini's AI-based film identified several white historical figures (such as the founders of the United States) as black German soldiers from the Nazi era.
Tech analysts came forward to debunk the rumor. They said that Google will drop the HTML version of Gmail instead of the entire email service. Technology educator Marsha Collier says that Gmail discontinued the HTML version in January of this year. Normal Gmail is working fine.'
The HTML version of Gmail was originally used for poor internet connections. Google has already stopped it.
Meanwhile, Google has said that Gmail is here to stay. The rumors about Gmail shutting down are completely baseless. Google also made a statement on the matter on Friday. In a post on the X platform, Google said that Gmail is not shutting down, the service will continue.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
